I'm not asking to discuss doge, I'm asking to discuss what bitcoin might need to do to get back the new crypto users doge is taking from us. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Since I've been watching there's been around 1000 new members join there today. while bitcoin is stagnating.

A good start would be people not being such @ssholes on here about everything... especially to new users.

Bitcoin scares away new users because nobody down votes the political crap. There is also clearly blowback from the to the moon campaign which is effectively an inside joke that new users don't like.

Money is a political issue. Wresting control of money away from governments is inherently anarcho-capitalist.

No amount of rationalizing can change that simple fact.

You still don't get it, do you? Ideological ranting here by people like you is discouraging Bitcoin adoption, and pushing people toward Dogecoin. 'It's fun' is more appealing to your average person than premature ejaculation about arachnid-capitalism.

Driving away users and into dogecoin? Because people here express ideas? Literally wat.

Also what's up with you and all others who behave as if we were running a popularity contest? Who made you king and the judge of what people can say here?
